Men could face terrorism-related and weapons charges after officials say explosive ‘had been lit but failed to function’

Authorities in Utah say two men have been arrested on suspicion of placing an incendiary device under a news media vehicle in Salt Lake City. The bomb didn’t go off.

Police and fire department bomb squads responded on Friday when a suspicious device was found under the vehicle parked near an occupied building.

Investigators determined the bomb “had been lit but failed to function as designed”, according to court records cited by CBS affiliate KUTV.

Looks like right wing Muslims playing the smart game and provoking the nazis I to do what they always wanted to do.

Fuck both of them.

"Had been lit", was it like a stick of dynamite?

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

In the guardian one line sort of suggested an incendiary, but then later in searching the house they said explosive material. There is a huge difference between actual explosives and incendiaries. Gasoline and dynamite are completely different animals.

i bet thermite

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

i don't trust the news to get the difference between high explosives, explosives, firebombs, and potato guns.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

potato guns.

That's obviously a Glock...

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Pretty sure it's an Eye-Point

Geee, it’s almost as if Republicans are violent and hateful.

Where are u seeing that they're right wing? I looked everywhere and couldn't find it

[–] Zier@fedia.io 47 points 1 day ago (5 children)

But they are so "pro-life".

Charlie Kirk was pro life. He died pretty damned quick.

Not saying I disagree with the statement, but where did you see that these men were Republicans? I didn't find any reference to any political motivation in the article, but I also didn't read it particularly thoroughly

[–] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If they were left leaning in any way they would have led with that.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 9 hours ago

Well it's the Guardian, not a US rag. So they won't say anything until the info is released.

[–] RFKJrsBrainworm@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If they even so much as had a conversation with a left-leaning person news would have led with that especially today

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Sometimes they lead with that even if it's not true.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I didn't find any reference to any political motivation

I didn't either, but that probably implies they are white christofacists, right? (Or, as the Utah governor put it, "one of us"?)

If their demographic was any different and fit the narratives that the Right is trying to spin on this, it would have been leaked already....

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Utah governor used “one of us” to mean a member of their local community.

I get why it’s such a fun sound bite but it comes across as dumb as the right yelling let’s go Brandon

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

and by a member of their local community he meant a member of their church,

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago

Exactly. Big dog whistle for Utah. It took me a couple of years to catch on to it but once you know it, it becomes obvious.

Not Republican, MAGA. Republicans don't exist anymore. And we know they were MAGA, because the bomb didn't go off, because MAGAs are predictably virtuosically incompetent. If they were Democrats, the bomb would have worked.

Also Republicans are too cowardly to try to bomb anything. MAGAs are cowardly, too, but the are also breath-takingly stupid, so their stupidity often overwhelms their cowardice, and they do remarkably dumb stuff, like try to storm the Capitol.

They ran off with a rhetoric without any facts first, showed everyone how violent they want to be, the facts now show that their rhetoric was ignorant bullshit, they still want to be violent anyway so they’re going to do it in the name of their original rhetoric, facts be damned. They are just violent psychopaths. Stay strapped with that scum walking amongst us

Mormonism and narcissism. I say this as a former Mormon from Utah. They are not as peaceful as they seem.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Whole show called American Primeval about the Mormons. Great miniseries.

[–] cyberwitch@reddthat.com 8 points 1 day ago

High profile Mormon crime in the past 10 years alone is pretty staggering

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Just the usual right wing terrorism.

[–] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

American stochastic terrorism

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago

Yep, we're starting to see the results of 40+ years of very dark, very violent propaganda

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just your normal religious and political oppression.

Wait, Jason Segal was in SLC Punk? I've only seen it once, way back in highschool and I must not have known who he was back then. Huh.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He's all straight-laced, but the most punk of them all.
